Chocolate Banana Bread

Every week I have those brown-speckled fellas staring me down, spots of mush beginning to ooze through the skin. (Talking about my bananas here, not my thighs.) And almost every week I make a batch of banana bread. Or banana muffins. Or Roasted Banana Cake with Brown Butter Frosting.

But this week I needed chocolate. Double chocolate, actually. And this quick bread was born. I love that I only needed 1/3 cup of canola oil to keep it moist and the bananas took care of the rest. The result is a rich, chocolate-chip studded quick bread that really, truly makes it okay to eat cake for breakfast.

2. Beat sugar, eggs, and oil in large bowl at medium speed until combined. Beat in banana and vanilla at low speed. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; beat into banana mixture at low speed just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
